I don't care what anybody says about me as long as it isn't true. – Truman Capote

Visual art by Chan Chiao Chun

Chan Chiao Chun unmasks the visual world, behind the facade of 'Keeping Up Appearances' and beauty. The true nature of things that we consider unpleasant and that we try to cover is hidden.
“To me, humans are limited creatures, more restricted than they are willing to confess. Therefore, in my work and as a designer I want to show anatomic things and push my work to a wilder, crazier, and uglier level to challenge this world.”

Chan will present his one year project of daily self-portraits and three masks.

Photography by Liza Wolters

As a child, Liza was fascinated by live television.“A glass breaking unexpectedly, or someone not standing in the planned position. The incidental moment immortalised in the viewers’ eyes, represented in the living room screen. The tension between that which was planned (direction) and that which is (chance) becomes tangible. The world as one big choreography.”

Food by Food Invaders

Pasquale Pontillo is chef-architect at Food Invaders. He loves to build new, amazing edible objects. Combining his own ideas with other people’s creativity his food becomes the perfect partner of art, fashion or advertising. “My experience as an architect has influenced my general point of view: shapes, colours, materials, textures are things I am constantly focused on. The playful aspect is also crucial to me, because food is mainly a social thing and people are always supposed to react to and interact with our culinary creations.”

Screening 'The Island of Strangers' by Chen Jhen

In her documentary Chen Jhen returns to her homeland in search of a national identity.
“Many Taiwanese struggle with their identity: do they feel Japanese, Chinese or Taiwanese? In my film I collect old documents, photographs and stories. One of her photo books shows how school uniforms changed over time from a Japanese military style to traditional Chinese costumes, to a mixture, and finally no uniform at all.”

Bites by De Gouden Radijs

De Gouden Radijs, vegan homestyle dinners and vegan catering.
“I want to let people taste what is good for their body, their soul and the world: food that gives energy, rather than takes.” Eat that.

De Gouden Radijs will present bites to stuff your face.
